Hi! I'm in the program. It's excellent so far.
I got into three schools and had four interviews, so here is my advice for any CRNA interview. For the interview, I would know your specialty. For example, I have experience in adult and pediatric trauma. I knew everything about burns and trauma- septic shock, hypovolemic shock, TBSA, and blood given in infants/pediatrics—the medications we would provide. I have had some experience in Neuro ICU, but not that much, but I also knew what is essential or the parameters you will look for when caring for any critical patient.
Be confident and yourself! Also, smile. If you don't know, say you don't know it, or if you need to think about it, say, can we come back at the end? Also, Google questions for CRNA interviews and practice.
Also, what makes you stand out? How can you add to the CRNA profession other than you want autonomy?
For me, it was pediatric and adult patients with difficult airways (burn inhalation, uncuffed ett tubes, etc.) I felt confident bringing that up in my paper, resume, and interview.
I received one no, it conjugated on me taking extra classes and it was my first interview. I felt defeated. My interviewer said I was not ready and needed to take those classes. But I kept going. I went to my other interviews and received three acceptances with that being said, don't give up!
Good luck!
